Gills-Welsh Capsule Forceps

angled 70 degrees, 3.0 mm tips, 4-3/4" (12.1 cm)Clayman IOL Folding Forceps are a unique tool used in artificial lens implantation techniques. The forceps are designed to fold the IOL either horizontally or longitudinally to allow for easier implantation. The rounded soft curve of the forceps aids in gripping the IOL with minimal damage or alteration. The angled tips provide increased visibility during the procedure.

3.5" (8.9 cm)Desmarres Chalazion Forceps are a commonly used tool in diseases of the eyelid. The forceps are meant to expose a chalazion or other cysts of the lid. The ring blade of the forceps surrounds the cyst and tightened so the lid is everted. Three different ring sizes are available depending on the patient.

bayonet-shaped, cross-serrated, 3" (7.5 cm) Botvin Iris Forceps are a useful tool in ophthalmologic procedures involving repair of the iris following trauma. The forceps are designed to handle the long needle necessary for iris suturing, commonly used with 10-0 polypropelene or 4-0 silk sutures. The bayonet style design is meant to minimize surgical obstruction during the operation.

4-1/4" (11.0 cm) Castroviejo Titanium Suturing Forceps are a multipurpose tool for a variety of ophthalmologic procedures. The heavy set teeth ensure the firm grasp of tissue or suturing equipment without slippage, while the slightly extended length aids in accessing difficult areas. The forceps are available with a tying platform, designed to grasp both the tissue and suturing equipment without changing instruments. Three different tooth sizes are available depending on surgical preference. Forceps manufactured with a lightweight, titanium alloy body offer advantages for procedures that require delicate precision. They possess greater strength and durability than stainless steel and superior resistance to corrosion, staining and pitting. Titanium forceps are almost half the weight of stainless steel, offering a more tactile feel with minimal fatigue. Finally, blue-colored tint reduces glare and the non-magnetic material resists static buildup.
